I was born on November 2, 1978. I paint people, not as idealized figures, but as witnesses of lived time. What draws me most is the human presence inside an ordinary moment: a pause, a gesture, a turn of the head, a silence between actions. These fragments of life become the foundation of my work.
I usually work on a large scale because I want the painting to feel immersive and direct. A larger canvas allows the figure to hold space with greater intensity, and it gives the viewer a more immediate emotional encounter. I am interested in scenes that seem familiar, yet carry something deeper beneath the surface — memory, tension, distance, tenderness, fatigue, waiting.
My paintings are not built around spectacle. They are built around presence. I try to preserve the weight of a passing moment and give it visual permanence. Even when a composition is quiet, I want it to hold emotional gravity.
In my work, narrative is important, but it is never forced. I prefer suggestion over explanation. A painting should leave room for the viewer’s own memory and interpretation. What matters to me is that the image continues to live in the mind after the first glance.
I see painting as a way to keep life from disappearing too quickly. Through large figurative compositions, I try to capture what is fragile, human, and often overlooked.
